We have to talk about something we've been genuinely excited about for months, and our patrons actually got a preview of this already. Jamaica! Yes, we are going back, and actually, we have a great offer for you guys. Yeah, it's Swingcation. It's October 11th through the 18th at Hedonism 2. And if you don't know what Swingcation is, it's pretty easy. Swinger plus kink plus vacation. It's a hosted group with real structure, workshops, lectures, real conversations with experts who are passionate about bringing and bridging that gap between the swinger world and the kink world.

So once again, ticketforplay.com forward slash Swinky, the code SwingerU-VIP. We really want to see you there. You're listening to Swinger University with Ed and Phoebe, a new kind of accelerated learning program. Here are your hosts, Ed and Phoebe. All right. All right. Settle down. Settle down.
Are you ready are you prepared when you get the call for swinger fun today we're talking about your hoe bag and if you have one we are discussing what is in our hoe bag and the bare necessities for swingers. You will soon find out a little pre-planning can make your evening go more smoothly. And a Boy Scout is always prepared. Right, Ed? Yes, indeed. First of all, you need one. And here's what you need.
You absolutely need a need a go bag you need the go-to bag for all your stuff it's it's being prepared for any event and having all of it in one place you don't have to gather it potentially forgetting stuff yes stuff consists of condoms we carry latex and non-latex. You want to cover all the bases because when the opportunity strikes, you need to be prepared. Exactly. Phoebe, for example, is latex sensitive. And if I've been using a latex condom, I kind of wash myself off before I get to business with my lady.
And I think eventually we're going to go to all non-latex because we run into a number of people who are latex sensitive.
And so it just kind of makes sense to carry one condom they work just as well in terms of protection pregnancy prevention etc etc so right they also tend to be better with the types of lubricants that they use the lubricants are nicer and friendlier for the vagina and we also get the ones that don't have any spermicides i don't know i would imagine some latex well i know latex ones do but i would imagine non-latex would also but we don't even look for that because that's also not vaginal friendly for me correct so we just basically try to get down to the basics and stay protected yeah and the important the most important thing is to get the right fit yeah so we've got different sizes for everybody which really nice.
Some regulars and some larges and some comfortable fits. Yeah. So we've actually encountered a situation twice where these individuals didn't have any condoms in the room that we were in. They didn't provide condoms.
Usually people that are holding parties or venues will have those on hand on a side table and there was twice that someone didn't have one it didn't bring theirs and we're like no problem we got you covered yeah because we don't ever want to get into a situation where it's like oh yeah we'd really like to play with you but we can't hmm yeah well it was a nice evening see ya bye and same thing with the non-latex oh you're latex sensitive i only have latex i guess i'm not having sex with you right yeah that's right not a good situation's all about making those, optimizing your opportunities.
Once you've got them, don't let them get away. So be prepared. Same thing with lube. Yeah. I use lube called Good Clean Love.
i usually just call it the good lube because it's the good lube for me it's water-based they've got different formulas of different types ultra sensitive regular one that's a very liquidy one and one that's a little bit more of a gel and we're actually liking the gel one a little bit better because it's when you grab the tube and you're let me say a little excited the liquidy one you tend to get a lot of lube on that squeeze yeah so for those you know passionate moments where you got to get a little bit more lube out a little goes a long way a little squeeze and you get just a little bit of the gel versus the other stuff where it just kind of pours out yeah it's not cheap but it it's worth it because i'm sensitive and bad lube causes all kinds of other issues so it's pure pure, doesn't have extra chemicals or additives, and doesn't have any of that crap to be nasty stuff that makes your hoo-ha angry.
Glycerin. Oh, yeah.
The other lube that is very popular among our swinger friends is uber lube and we've tried this as well ed loves it a lot uh like i said a lot of our friends like it it's along that silicone based hybrid and they use a lot of really good pure medical grade substances they they cut out a lot of the weird stuff parabens and things like that but we will talk about all of that in our review on lubes ed you can maybe you can describe why you like that lube i actually like both lubes a lot but one thing that's kind of fun about the uber lube versus the good lube so the good lube feels a lot like normal vaginal fluid so it's very slippery very wet which is why i love it very slippery slappy it's juicy.
Yeah. I do like the juicy. But Uber Lube's kind of got a little bit of friction to it. It's not like a grabby friction, like a sticky. It's just a little bit of a harder slide, which means it kind of grabs a little bit more. Yeah. So it slides, but only with a little bit of pressure. So it's kind of fun. i i mean the best way to get the experience of it is just get some silicone lube try it on your fingers and you can feel it on your fingers and kind of how it moves or slather it all over your genitals and rub yourself and then you'll know what it feels like yeah that's nice too it's.
It's almost like an oil. Like it feels like an oily. Right. But it's not oil. Right. So if you're a coconut oil user, you might want to switch because coconut oil is not good for your hoo-ha. Es no bueno. No bueno.
The other good thing about Uber Lube is that they have a small travel size that you can purchase which fits great in your go bag yeah it almost looks like a mint breath spray it's that small it's like a small little banaca kind of canister and both of these lubes they're designed so that your your fingers aren't coming into contact with the product especially uber lube you're literally dispensing it out into your hand good lube you're squeezing it out you're not dipping your hands in yeah it's not like a bucket of nasty i know becoming ari dish. Hence the other problem with coconut oil.
Everybody's dirty fingers dipping in the bowl. Talk about double dipping. Oh, yeah. We've been to parties like that. Yeah. That was bad. So many bad things happened with the coconut oil. The bucket spilling all over the carpet. Oh, my God. People's furniture being ruined. The other couch. I mean, oil is such a bad thing for so many reasons. But most of these lubes are water-based. They wash out. Yeah. It's pretty easy, although I think the silicone stuff is probably a little bit more persnickety for getting out of fabric, but we haven't tried it. This one's not.
This one's actually really good. You can rub it on your skin as a moisturizer or water barrier, and you could use it in your hair. You can use it. I know runners will use it for anti-chafing. Yeah. Yeah, so it's a pretty cool product.
You should and the i guess the other cool thing about the silicone now that you've said that with the runners is the sweat so water won't typically wash it off so that's why it kind of feels like an oil is that it it kind of bonds to the skin and it keeps that lubricative barrier which is kind of bonds to the skin, and it keeps that lubricative barrier, which is kind of fun. Right. We've discovered it's personal choice, but try a couple different lubes.
And these two are really good lubes, and they're not going to present a bunch of problems for your vaginal health, which is really the other thing we carry are feminine wipes i use the ones from good clean love i don't always use them usually there's a bathroom around so i can just go you know wash up yeah especially on the cruise or in a hotel hotel washcloth and a little bit of water right you're at someone's house you just go to the restroom people always have extra towels and and stuff but sometimes playrooms you know you might want to use a wipe before you head off to the bathroom or something but anyway they're in there it's nice to be clean yes chapstick for kissing because we like kissing it's nice to have moist supple lips for all kinds of kissing uh-huh yeah a hair tie because blowjobs Phoebe does love her hair ties that's essential you don't want any distractions you need to get that hair out of the way you got business yep i'm serious i'm serious about my blowjobs none of that none of that breath spray or mints we used to do mints right but then we found the spray yeah and we've tried listerine strips before they're okay yeah they don't work very long but this sprint we the spray we've been getting lately i said sprint like mint spray mint okay i I like it.
we've got a new product we can market it perfect it's really nice it's kind of like a banaca but it's a different brand i can't remember the brand that we're using actually i think it's listerine it could be a list yeah i think it is and it's clean it's refreshing there's not a bunch of sugar in it which is the downside with the mints because then you kind of end up with the kind of the funky mouth after a little while right plus if you're going down on someone you probably don't want additional sugars in your in your mouth you got enough bacteria in there the mint is really strong too so one spray will do you and the other good thing is you don't have to put your hands on it don't put your hands on the mints you don't have to put your mans on the mans oh yeah kind of all kinds of good words tonight sprint and mans one of the other things you may want to put in your bag, and it depends on the person, but it's often referred to as swinger insurance, and it's Viagra or Cialis.
Why? You're up late. Your body wants to sleep. The lights are low, which, of course, starts to slow everything down. And you may or may not have had a little bit to drink. Right. If you've had a lot to drink, shame on you. Night, night. But Viagra can help. And we have known a number of people and podcasts that referred to it as Swinger Insurance.
There's a lot riding writing on that evening i mean a lot of planning a lot of money you sunk into it a lot of time and hair makeup the dress yeah and you finally make a connection with someone that you want to play with and you know you want to make sure that you can follow through and have a really good time. That's always a good thing. And there's another side benefit to this, too. There's a common problem when you're first in the lifestyle called swinger ADD, attention deficit disorder.
And you're surrounded by a bunch of stuff going on and sometimes it's hard to stay focused and when you don't have the focus when you're not really concentrating on the pleasure or the stimulation that's going on sometimes your mind wanders and of course half of sex is mental and we've heard of a number of people who have erectile problems because they're just distracted and they can't stay focused they can't stay focused on their partner they can't stay focused on what's going on and the viagra does help with that from what we've heard right and as you said ed when you're new there really is a ton of stuff that's going on and i think most of the concern at least in the beginning for us i know when we started getting into it our major concern that distracted us was how's my partner constantly how's my partner doing are they okay you know am i okay is she okay with what i'm doing she okay with him and her yeah so once you get into the swing of things and figure stuff out Thank you.
and her yeah so once you get into the swing of things and figure stuff out it you start to relax and you don't have you don't tend to have those concerns anymore all right so the parts that we've described so far will fit in a pretty small bag yeah describe this okay can we talk about october for a second oh my god yeah i've been waiting for this we were invited to be guest speakers for two engagements on a six-star crystal cruise ship with 310 lifestyle couples and it sails from montreal to boston during the peak foliage season i'm super excited and honestly i'm really nervous yeah it's kind of a version of like a swinger ted talk that we're gonna have to do oh my god i know and more importantly if you know the brand it's llv luxury lifestyle vacations you may have seen them and they're sexy playmakers with their fun red hats this ship the crystal symphony is classy butler service for every single room michelin rated restaurants full spa clothing optional sensual playrooms like everything theme nights and international dj so it's luxury and nudity oh man this is gonna be great the bottom line is we want you there with us it's 310 couples and like all their vacations they book up fast they really do their vacations are extremely popular so please come with us and in order to find it all you have to do is go to our swingerlinks.com and look for the llv sensual voyage we hope you'll join us yeah our bag well let's go historic okay yeah yeah let's go historic first so the first bag we found in san francisco which was this hard shaped backpack yeah super cute had to have it but it was a backpack i mean it was a very small backpack it was like a purse Thank you.
super cute had to have it but it was a backpack i mean it was a very small backpack it was like a purse it's a purse pack but it was big like you couldn't stash it under the table people might think it was a purse yeah we were always afraid it was going to get you know swiped by somebody because they thought it was a purse and we just you know it was just awkward carrying it around it was awkward so then we said geez well let's let's take our backpacking backpacking mentality how do we go super small yeah and we're like okay let's just break it down to the essentials.
What is the smallest container that will fit this? And I guess the best way to describe it is if you've got a pair of sunglasses case, that small kind of potato sized pouch, you know, like an, like an Idaho potato. It's about that volume. Yeah. And interestingly enough, we were at one of these events that had little Cassidy bags. It was like a corduroy red bag. Had the Cassidy logo on the side of it. Little drawstring pouch. Perfect size. Yep. Everything fits inside there. We can get about six condoms in there. We can get the lube. We can get chapstick, hair tie, all that all fits in there.
And if I'm wearing something particularly skimpy, I can actually tie it onto my belt and kind of carry it on my hip. And then we're not having to leave it any place or drop it any place.
with a lot of the costumes especially like halloween new year's eve it's pretty easy to fit into a jacket pocket or under a costume right or stuff it in a coat pocket yes we'll do that at house parties we'll stuff it in my coat pocket we hang it up in the closet then when we're ready to go up and play we just sneak off to the coat closet grab the bag and off we go grab the hoe bag yep off we go we did that at pk yes uh let's see what else what else shape size shapes and sizes so fun So many shapes and sizes Panties I started putting an extra pair of panties In the home shapes and sizes so fun so many shapes and sizes panties i started putting an extra pair of panties in the hoe bag so sometimes you know sometimes you need to change the panties because they get awfully moist and you just want to be fresh and clean you go wash up maybe you've been dancing all night you got all lubricated you played you go wash up and you want a fresh clean a pant fresh clean pair of panties i like clean i like panties i know just in general but clean panties are always very nice you may want to think about that uh some people bring toys we brought a small little toy for a long time.
But it kind of depends on the crowd and what you, you know, are interested in. How many hours are you going to spend playing? Right. Do you need the full arsenal? Yeah.
I mean, is this a full court press or are you just a suitcase for some we have some friends oh yeah who who have a bag oh yeah and and the first time we've seen this at the at one of the hotel parties they whipped the bag out they had it laid out on on one of the hotel chairs in the corner and it's like that movie where you see the guy like roll out all of the the implements of torture in the roll-up bag and it's like handcuffs whips chains dildos straps oh yeah like all the toys yeah was fun.
And the last party we were at, the last hotel party we were at, that couple brought a suitcase full of toys. Yeah, they had their little fuzzy handcuffs and all kinds of fun stuff. Change of lingerie. She'd change in different lingerie throughout the evening. Now, the irony with the last hotel party in terms of the big bag of stuff, the only thing that was used at the entire party was all of our condoms and our almost entire bottle of lube. So pretty much we didn't need toys. We had six people who were roaming around, swapping back and forth. And, holy crap, how many hours were we there?
Three, four. Yeah, it was like three or four hours. Pretty much, we walked in the door, got a drink, and then just went at it. Yeah.
Yeah, then we all, we took a break, and then we went back at a snack a little refresh gotta hydrate hydrate and recuperate and then yeah and then we ended the evening with more snacks and i remember that the hitachi and the strap-on got whipped out at some point but the strap-on didn't get used the hitachi got used a little bit and that was it yeah yeah pretty much it was just cocks and stunt cocks the whole way yes fingers tongues so much so much fun so much fun yes change of clothes oh oh i was just gonna say so if you like toys and you really need toys don't feel bad about bringing toys we've started playing with toys more um and there are women sometimes it's challenging to get that orgasm across the finish line don't feel bad about whipping out the toy.
Nope. I have not encountered any women in this lifestyle that are shy about the toys. And I've never met a guy that didn't like seeing a woman come, regardless of how they get there. Exactly. It's just hot all the way around.
I don't care what toys you knew just just get there i want to watch you go there just watching pleasure is fabulous oh so good uh change of clothes i bring some sometimes depending on where where we're at so the last hotel party i brought you know some cute sweats i brought a robe sometimes some pjs yeah sometimes pjs depends on like you know where you're at where you want to go afterwards and there's a lot of parties where there's kind of a outfit change mid-evening and so a lot of times they'll they'll do you know they'll like ring a bell yes and all the ladies go out and change into lingerie the guys go out and change into something less than street clothes type of thing and then it's a little bit more of an enticement you gotta kind of kick off the mood yeah you have to because because sometimes it just stays junior high dance and no one, nothing happens.
That transition is so challenging. It is. We could do a whole episode on just how to transition to the bedroom. Exactly. I know. That's a good idea. It's getting easier and easier. easier it is getting easier we've gotten we've just gotten to the point where like are we gonna start this now or what one of one of the parties south of where we live we'd been up into the bedroom with one couple came down had some had some snacks, went up with another couple, came down and we're like, I actually feel like, oh, this is really fun. Yeah, we felt very slutty that night. Two different couples.
It was awesome. We were just running through them. And we didn't feel guilty about it at all. No, we did not it was all good no all right so that should kind of wrap it up it's pretty basic so you're going to a party you gotta bring the essentials have them all in one place easy to get to you don't lose anything and you're prepared ahead of time it's kind of like a packing list if you have it pre-packed and you got it ready to go you are prepared for anything that might come up during the event so grab your hoe bags and let's go.
